I do that because I used to work in grocery stores and can noticed even small, incremental price changes on many items. Most consumers don’t do that and hardly notice 3 cents more on this and 2 ounces short on that. We are already accustomed to toilet paper and laundry detergent mega-size and “concentrated” bullshit.

If you buy the same package size cereal every week you will notice if the price went up. Compare prices neutralizes shrinkflation.
My guess ( <- guess!) is that most people who don’t care about compare prices won’t care much about the signs.
